Unforgettable Night: Diana Ross Shines at Hollywood Bowl 2025

The Hollywood Bowl was transformed into a dazzling spectacle in 2025 as the legendary Diana Ross took the stage, delivering a night that will forever be etched in the hearts of those lucky enough to attend.

As the lights dimmed and the first notes of โ€œIโ€™m Coming Outโ€ echoed through the iconic venue, the crowd erupted, their anticipation rewarded with an enchanting fusion of elegance, nostalgia, and show-stopping performance.

From her timeless Supremes hits to her solo chart-toppers, Ross offered more than just a concertโ€”she gave a masterclass in star power. With each costume changeโ€”from shimmering gowns to regal capesโ€”she lit up the stage, her presence as commanding and radiant as ever. Every note, every shimmy, and every smile radiated a joy that bridged generations.

But it wasnโ€™t just the music that captivatedโ€”it was the atmosphere she created: one filled with celebration, connection, and the unmistakable magic of a living legend. With heartfelt tributes, family moments, and that iconic declarationโ€”โ€œEither you move it or you lose itโ€โ€”Diana Ross reminded us all what it means to truly own the stage.

At age 81, Ross brought an unforgettable nearly three-hour performance to Los Angeles, reaffirming her status as a living legend. She opened with a captivating career retrospective video before transitioning into โ€œIโ€™m Coming Out,โ€ dressed in a radiant yellow gown with matching capeโ€”a theatrical entrance that thrilled the sold-out crowd.

Her set seamlessly wove together Motown classics like โ€œBaby Love,โ€ โ€œYou Canโ€™t Hurry Love,โ€ and โ€œStop! In the Name of Love,โ€ sparking massive crowd sing-alongs as visuals and nostalgia filled the stage. She then shifted toward her solo hits and ballads like โ€œTouch Me in the Morning,โ€ โ€œDonโ€™t Explainโ€ and โ€œTheme from Mahogany,โ€ showing her vast stylistic range and emotional nuance.

Ross dazzled with multiple costume changesโ€”beginning in black-and-white, then red, moving to gold, and finally a sparkling silver ensemble for the encore. She closed the night with a powerful rendition of โ€œI Will Survive,โ€ blending the disco anthem with DJ Khaledโ€™s โ€œAll I Do Is Win,โ€ bringing the crowd to their feet in the final burst of energy and glam.

One emotional highlight: Diana invited her daughter Tracee Ellis Ross onstage for a heartfelt duet of โ€œEndless Love.โ€ Tracee, playfully nervous, admitted: โ€œI have to get over my fear of singing with herโ€ โ€” prompting cheers as they sang together under the spotlight.

Later, other members of the Ross clanโ€”including Rhonda, Chudney, Ross Naess, Evan Ross, and grandchildrenโ€”joined for the finale, creating moments of genuine warmth and celebration.

ย โ€œEither You Move It or You Lose Itโ€

Mid-show, Ross quipped with trademark wit:

โ€œEITHER YOU MOVE IT OR YOU LOSE IT.โ€

Her clever delivery and playful shimmy encapsulated the eveningโ€™s energyโ€”proof that age hasnโ€™t slowed her brilliance a bit

Diana Rossโ€™s Hollywood Bowl show was more than a concertโ€”it was a celebration of a cultural icon still evolving, inspiring, and moving audiences anew. Her message was simple but powerful: youโ€™ve got to keep movingโ€”on stage, in life, and in music.
